7. Thank you!

The suspect is Matthew Egler, 29. Apparently he admitted on social media his involvement and his anger with the Maricopa County Democrats.

AZCentral calls him a Democratic activist with a long and troubled history with the Maricopa County party over the years.

Fox10 Phoenix calls him a former volunteer who worked for the party 2016 to 2017, but has been banned for unspecified reasons.
